Raserke doesn't note the other's voice, but stands up, and places himself in front of the cave entrance. Moving in front of Karie, he shakes his head. "The steadfast met the rush head on. The quick and strong use his work."

He focuses, and a large slab of stone grows from the ground, which he grabs as it forms the vague shape of an axe. "Stoneshape Equip." he says under his breath.

Rollen fades back into the darker parts of the cave, and disappears from view. Turia moves to support her teammate from behind, as a luminescent shape rears up from the cave mouth. A large centipede, 12 feet or more in length, it slams against Raserke, shoving him back.

"I won't be able to hold this position long!" He bellows,s but doesn't move yet, holding his axe slab in the creature's pincers.

One of the frozen geysers shatters, exploding from the blow behind it. The beast that comes out has two heads. Both ugly, horned, and fanged. The burly humanoid's heavy grey skin is tinged with frost that hangs from clumps of dirty hair all over the body. In its hand, a broken stalagmite with the end worn into a handle. It stomps foward, and roars, the air swirling with cold around it.

Lybi winces. "I think they call this a IceEttin. Cytak, take point!"

The heavily armed figure steps foward, next to Kai, and the two of them are the first to feel the blow, the club swung in a wide horizontal path.

Swing: 77Cytak: 50Kai: 83

The blue warrior takes the brunt of the blow, flung back, but Kai is able to redirect the path, the blow fanning just overhead.

Lybi holds her staff with a bell shaped flare on the end ready, and casts a spell. Vines shoot from it, and wrap themselves around the arm of the IceEttin. "That'll damage its attack for a couple rounds!" She shouts as Cytak struggles back to his feet, and Emirc pulls double swords, ready to strike.

Find the source of the frozen river. Return it to normal to cut off the Ice One's strength.

"All of you!" Kai shouts at both teams of players, "Cytak and I will hold this thing off. Don't bother attacking it yet, this is a puzzle. Find the source of the frozen river. Return it to normal to cut off the Ice One's strength -- while we play with it, look around. Find an inlet or something where the water flows into this cave; see if you can't melt it or get the water flowing again to melt this ice. I think that's the key!"

Kai looks up at the mountain of a monster in front of oneself. "Alright Frosty. Let's go."

Kai takes a horse stance, the earth shaking beneath the feet as muscle tone increases with a blast of dust and sand.

[1-2 Mountain Body]

Kai then steps forward and begins spinning the lance, ready to intercept any attacks and keep the beast from going after the team.

Brand, rather than listening to Kai, focuses the power of light into two clenched fists. Radiance explodes from each with enough force to create twin shockwaves around his body, and when they cross over his entire body begins to radiate power.

"C'mon, Kai - remember, everyone thought they were supposed to fight the bear by glitching it into a bunch of trees too. Look how that one turned out!" He then watches the IceEttin, waiting for it to meet Kai's challenge. Once it does, he streaks in from behind and delivers a powerful open-palmed photonic blow to the creature's knee, driving it off-balance, then delivering another radiant strike to the back of its abdomen, between hip, rib, and spine.

Maya sets herself into place as she hauls back on her lance, before launching it toward the Ettin's head with a short huff of exertion. After that, she blurs slightly as she triggers her Flowing Dodge technique and looks around for this 'frozen river' and its' possible source.

What do I do? What do I do? Teiresias, despite the monster that has just appeared is lost in his own little world. Those who have been watching him would have noticed that he's been eerily silent for a long time. I didn't have time for this. How the [CENSORED] did they come up with their characters in such a short [CENSORED] time? Did they play the system for their builds? Did they just sit down and wait at the tutorial zone? How did they do it? How? HOW? Teiresias' grip on his hammer tightens, and tightens until his knuckles turn white. I can't play anything. It's too real. Too fast. Too much. It's too much right now. I can't handle it. I can't leave, but I can't stay. I can't stay, but I can't leave. "I need a break." He murmurs. "I need time to myself. I have no character. I can't play without a character. I can't do this. I just can't."

A knife flashes out of nowhere, but misses the worm as its body writhes along the wall. A muffled curse is heard from Rollen, though he isnt visible yet.

Raserke lets out another grunt as he shoves with the axe, throwing the beast back. It curls into a spring, and then throws itself forward, bowling over Turia. Her hit points drop a solid chunk, but unbowed, she swings her sword at the trailing body, it sparkling with light as it goes. The Centipede's flesh gives way, but the blow is glancing, doing minor damage.

Karie glows with energy from Clarence's spell, who then throws a blast of flame that hit the creature head on, encompassing it's body. The damage is signifcant, biting off a quarter of the total meter. Karie follows that up with a pair of slices. The first one misses as the long insect writhes madly, but the second conects, doing minor damage. After that, she chains it into a fast strike with both swords, but the creature turns to face her, its pincers blocking the sword and then closing on her arm, digging into it and throwing her against the wall. Karie's hp drops by a third, over 30 points.

In the meantime, Teresias starts to panic. Noone else notices at first, but a dialog pops up in everyone's box that he is trying to log out. But soon after, it vanishes, and he c learly is speaking to someone for a moment, before returning, focused.

Team 2:

Kai spins the lance, body turning a dark brown shade for a moment before being replaced by a glowing aura. Cytak nods, and his own form flashes a dark blue. "Strength of Pose", he mutters out loud.

The two of them charge the Ettin, who swings down with both arms. Cytak turns the blow on his side away easily, the arm flying clear. Kai, on the other hand, hits exactly right. The spin of the lance intersects perfectly with the greenish flesh, scoring a hit along the muscle of the forearm, and the Ettin flinches back.

"Good!" Lybi shouts. "Keep it off balance!" She casts another spell, and a beam of green hits Cytak, filling his life slightly.

Emeric throws a sword at the opponent, a black blade spinning in the air, and then slashing across its chest lightly, before boomeranging back into his hands. He snorts. "Body's tough. Slashing won't work so well. Better go for penetration." And his swords glow red.

Brand casts a buff as well, arms glowing with bright energy. The varying colors light the ice crystals up, throwing shine in all directions. The dazzling light focuses as Brand double strikes the giant, hobbling it at the knee and then striking it in the hollow of the back. The first blow causes it to stumble, and the second hit perfectly, causing quite a bit of damage.

Maya tries to capitalize on it by throwing her spear precisely. But the Ettin manages to catch it in mid air with the palm of its hand, the spear only sinking in up to the end of the blade. It vanishes and reappears in MAya's hand, who steps back, ready to move.

Kai gets distracted, talking to someone not there, probably over a chat program.

Brand doesn't let up on his assault, sending his palm into the monster's other hamstring, using the step to move towards the thing's side. The next blow strikes its kidney, and then finally Brand draws back both hands, focusing all of his power into a devastating blow to its abdomen. It's only then that he notices his attacks aren't being mirrored by his erstwhile companion, and he jumps back, shaking Kai's shoulder.

"Kai, you alright?" Brand asks, as she notices her companion go completely immobile. "We need you tanking this thing."

Maya eyes Kai, saying "Lag?", but soon shrugs and focuses on the task at hand. She waits for the others to hopefully distract the creature and/or generate an opening before lunging in with sharp huff of effort, attempting to stab her lance deep into her opponent's side before dodging back out of melee range once more.

Kai shakes one's head and takes a stance again, "Sorry all, just keeping us all together. Alright then, be careful - this is too easy to be a final boss..." Kai leaps forward, aiming the tip of the lance directly at the ice-beast's brow, spinning low and following through with another head shot.

Teiresias refocuses on the battle at hand. His grip tightens on his hammer, and he smiles weakly. "Sorry. Sorry. I'll be fine for now." Teiresias checks his new skills quickly, and settles on a plan of attack. "Make them stronger, and make the damage last." He murmurs to himself, before focusing his energy on Karie's sword once more.
